Given the huge success of the second part, it’s no surprise that Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment have announced a sequel.
Development of Warhammer 40000: Space Marine III has officially begun.Of course, the publisher hasn’t changed the developers (something licensor Games Workshop wouldn’t have agreed to…), so Saber Interactive is behind the project.More news about the game will be announced when the time is right.Since they’ve just started development, the video below is just a teaser, nothing more.The goal is to bring the best content to the players.
“We have been honored by the incredible response from fans following the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II. We will continue to support the game with exciting content and regular updates for years to come. Today, we are thrilled to announce that the adventure will continue with Space Marine III. Players can look forward to an immersive campaign, multiplayer mode, and innovations that will redefine the standard for third-person action games. Developed in close collaboration with Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine III will take the genre to new heights by introducing large-scale battles that are even more spectacular,” John Bert, vice-president of publishing at Focus Entertainment, wrote in a press release.
“Space Marine II has proven to be a transformative game for Saber. It is the culmination of everything we have learned about game development in our 25 years in business. We are now embarking on the development of Space Marine 3, a game with tremendous expectations from our rapidly growing fan base. While we will continue to support and grow the Space Marine II universe over the next few years, we will take all of our experience and apply it to an even bigger and more spectacular game for the third installment. We see this as an opportunity to create a true love letter to the Warhammer 40,000 universe,” Matthew Karch, CEO of Saber Interactive, added.
We don’t know the release date or target platforms for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine III yet, but that’s understandable…
